Phone Hacking Scandal Stirs Outrage in British Parliament and the British Public .. Enough is enough!

We are concerned about corruption and bad anti social profiteering behavior. There are limits to our tolerance and these have been exceeded by Murdoch's corrupting media empire! It is disgusting and underhand what has happened...

Now we see it for what it is... Profiteering by unethical newspapers destroys our trust. We saw this in banking and now in the media!

Some of us are beyond anger!

We have long had our suspicions that Rupert Murdoch's interests did not coincide with those of a democracy. We realized increasingly how much our publishing industry had changed because of our inability to control excesses in the media and through the media to all institutions we rely on for security and moral social behavior.

We feel betrayed by Murdoch and his corrosive agents. We want action to close his influence down.

We are really upset that any one could promote unethical behavior for profit. We want Murdoch's influence minimized!

We saw the role of Murdoch's immoral media empire to erode our best values taking them to the gutter. We are saddened by what has happened and horrified that it could continue. We will not tolerate corruption.

We propose a boycott against agents of such low dealing and unethical behavior.

We also saw moral corruption spread via the unethical media throughout parliament, throughout the banking industry, and throughout political processes.

We now know that the framework of our democracy is based on morality and ethics. We realize that our media need to be ethical and that the Murdoch business model works against this!

We realize that Murdoch's business model is increasing in conflict with our democratic ideals. We see increasingly a deficit in ethics emanating from the press where everything goes.

We realize that this is due to Murdoch's business model which is corrosive to ethics and which spreads the behavioral disease of unethical behavior throughout the publications world into all media and into our police force.

We learn that Murdoch's influence is like a contagious flu that sickens our society and reduces the works we see and hear in our media to the lowest of human experience.

We speculate on how far this process will destroy our willingness to live together as a happy community. One rotten apple, that of Murdoch's media world has rotted our media world!

The Internet User's Best Kept Secret

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth. ... more!
